Nike Air Max 95 Bright Mandarin Releases June 6 for 30th Anniversary

NEW YORK, NY — The Nike Air Max 95 OG Bright Mandarin will launch on June 6, 2025, commemorating the 30th anniversary of the iconic sneaker. The Bright Mandarin edition pays tribute to the original colorway while introducing a modern twist.

The shoe will be available in men’s, preschool (PS), and toddler (TD) sizes, retailing for $190, $110, and $80, respectively. Leaked earlier this year, the Bright Mandarin is part of the ‘big bubble’ series that many sneaker enthusiasts cherish.

The Nike SNKRS app is expected to have the most inventory, offering free shipping and returns. Other retail partners include Foot Locker, Champs Sports, and Finish Line.

Originally released in 2011, the Bright Mandarin colorway features bold orange accents against a gradient grey suede that echoes the shoe’s original design by Sergio Lozano. The iconic sneaker integrates visible Air cushioning, enhancing both comfort and style.

“This release not only marks a nostalgic moment for long-time fans but also introduces the Air Max 95 to a new generation,” said Matt Varga, an editor at SneakerNews. “With its gradient design and updated hardware, it stands out in the current sneaker landscape.”

Sneakerheads should prepare for a competitive release as past Air Max launches have sold out quickly. Fans are encouraged to check local retailers for possible raffles for early access.

The Bright Mandarin release is expected to be a highlight on sneaker calendars this summer, blending heritage with fresh style.
